For all those educators who are wondering what the best solution is for setting up simple, scalable blogs for themselves or their students, edublogs might just be the answer to your prayers. The site offers free WordPress blogs and Wikis for educators and students which they also host for you ad-free. Each blog you create features customisable templates and extensions and over 60 themes to choose from.

This seems like a much better option for teachers and educators who want to create blogs for educational or academic purposes and don’t have access to a local server or decide *wisely* against going for one of the many other free, yet inflexible, advertising infested solutions!
